Researchers at UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) and the School of Biomedical Sciences have discovered a nanoscale molecular scaffold that exists in the tissue that surrounds the axon that protects sensory axons from degenerating.

Brain scan ‘caricatures’ could lead to better treatment outcomes by emphasizing individual differences

Long-term effects of 40-hertz auditory stimulation as a treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: New study provides the first primate evidence of 40-Hz auditory stimulation can sustainably modulate the Aβ metabolism in the brain, supporting its potential as a noninvasive Alzheimer’s treatment method.

New MEG research finds meditation alters neural oscillations and complexity, shifting the brain toward "critical dynamics." This suggests the practice tunes the brain to a tipping point between order and chaos, potentially optimizing information processing and flexibility.
